From the blog

While Reactive application development is off to a roaring start and becoming mainstream, this leads to demands on Operations that are simply not met by yesterday’s software architectures and technologies. The pressure facing enterprises to manage resilient, responsive systems is brutal, yet most existing technologies available today are not designed to deploy and manage Reactive systems running on clusters. It’s due to this fact that Operations face a higher risk of downtime by using inappropriate tools/practices at a time when being unavailable is more costly than ever. So why is this happening? Well, it's not 2005 anymore–and why that's a problem for Operations is explained here...

Ten months ago we posted about architectural changes to Typesafe Activator. After a few a lot of yak shaves, side projects, and detours, we have Activator 1.3.0 based on sbt server, a new setup where multiple clients can share the same instance of sbt. sbt server is also available in ABI-stable protocol-stable form for other clients (IDEs, command line, desktop status icon, whatever you can think of) to try out.
